TRP can assist with product design whether from an initial ideal, sketch drawing or by reverse engineering an existing part. TRP uses a range of CAD Systems including Solid Works and AutoCad and we can use these assets to modify or produce new drawings of moulded components or seals. All work is undertaken in complete confidence. Polymers developed for specific applications can be allocated to that customer only.

PRODUCT TESTING

Using the latest technology we offer a complete service including; expert advice from our Technical manager, TRP can provide advice and assistance in material selection, material testing, sample analysis and design of elastomer components.

TOOLING

Our specialist technicians have developed a vast knowledge of the science underlying the way in which rubber behaves during the moulding process over the past 30 years. In our purpose built specialist facilities we can manufacture mould tools from 50mm x 50mm to 1,750mm x 3,900mm These range from simple two dimensional mouldings to complex three dimensional components, including bonded metal parts. Tools can be manufactured in a range of materials including aluminium, pre-hardened tool steel and fully-hardened tool steel.

PROTOTYPING

We can offer a fast turnaround prototyping service using a range of techniques allowing fully functional components to be produced. This can be based on “soft tooling”, single cavity completion in multi cavity moulds, machined parts or cast in a representative material.
